Old horse
A horse is usually considered “old” from about 18 to 20 years of age, although this varies by individual and breed. Older horses often need some extra care and attention as their bodies change: digestion becomes less efficient, teeth may deteriorate and muscle mass decreases. In addition, age-related complaints such as stiffness, joint problems or conditions such as PPID become more common.
Nutrition plays an important role in supporting the health of senior horses. They benefit from easily digestible roughage, possibly supplemented with mash or roughage substitutes if chewing becomes more difficult. A balancer can help supplement vitamin, mineral and protein deficiencies. Extra attention to digestion, resistance and muscle support is essential to keep an old horse vital and comfortable.

PPID seemed non-existent in the past. A horse of 15+ simply developed age-related ailments that worsened as it grew older. Sometimes such a senior was lucky, and the veterinarian considered what we then called Cushing’s disease.
